Ecos Of Giving
A laugh, a hand, a fleeting glance,
Life’s riches hide in every chance.
In quiet acts, the heart will find,
A wealth of love, pure and kind.

Change Through Giving
7000+ Bites Of Joy
What began as a simple idea to give love on a day when many expect to receive it became a heartfelt reminder that small acts of generosity can leave a lasting impact and bring countless smiles.

My Spark of Paying It Forward
Raised in a community where giving was a cherished tradition, I learned early on that generosity has the power to transform lives. My parents always taught me the importance of empathy, showing me how to understand and support others with kindness. Every Christmas, my school organized efforts to deliver toys to children and essential food bags to families in need, creating moments of joy and connection. I am grateful for these experiences that instilled in me the belief that meaningful change often begins with small, thoughtful
actions. As of today, my mom is an 18-year cancer survivor and is undergoing chemotherapy, nearing remission for the 12th time. Her resilience and strength inspire me to continue raising funds for nonprofits with bigger causes, furthering my commitment to making a meaningful difference. These lessons continue to remind me of the power of kindness and the joy of giving back—a commitment I carry forward as a lifelong tradition.

1000 Frosted Cupcakes
It started with a simple idea on a February 14, a day when most people expect to receive love—I decided to share it instead in an unexpected way. I gathered a group of friends to bake cupcakes, and together, with boxes of freshly made treats in hand, we ventured to the outskirts of my hometown, an area where many children lived in need. The cupcakes, though small, carried a message of love and kindness, bringing countless smiles and proving that even small acts of generosity can create a lasting impact. This heartfelt gesture reflected a lifelong commitment to sharing joy—from delivering toys and food during the holidays to embracing the belief that kindness can transform lives, one thoughtful act at a time.

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS)
The 2015 Man & Woman of the Year campaign benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) was a deeply personal journey. As a candidate for the San Diego/Hawaii Chapter’s Woman of the Year, I honored my late best friend, Isabel, who lost her battle with leukemia, and my mother, an 18-year fighter and Multiple Myeloma cancer survivor. Over 10 weeks, our group raised over $400K through initiatives like a social media campaign and a local concert, uniting the community to support LLS’s mission of funding blood cancer research and providing patient support. This effort was not just about fundraising but also about paying tribute to those I love and inspiring others to join the fight against cancer.
